Nicole Kidman's best roles: 7 memorable movies with the actress
A still from the movie Rabbit Hole

"Eyes Wide Shut"

Drama, thriller, detective | 3.75 out of 5 on MyShows | 1999

кадр из фильма «С широко закрытыми глазами»

Stanley Kubrick's erotic thriller starring her then-husband Tom Cruise in the title role alongside Nicole Kidman. He played New York Dr. William Harford, who embarks on an unusual sexual adventure after learning that his wife (Kidman) is considering an extramarital affair.

Nicole Kidman had long wanted to work with Kubrick, so she agreed to star in "Eyes Wide Shut" even before the movie script was finished. As a result, the picture was received ambiguously: some saw it as a masterpiece, others — found it boring and banal, but Kidman's performance received extremely positive (and even enthusiastic) reviews.

"The Others"

Horror, detective, thriller | 4.36 out of 5 on MyShows | 2001

кадр из фильма «Другие»

1945. Grace Stewart, along with her daughter Anne and son Nicholas, live in a remote mansion on the island of Jersey. Grace believes her husband Charles, who has gone off to war, is dead. Unexpectedly, the family's servants go missing, and Grace accepts a job offer from three new servants. But as the three enter the house, strange events begin to occur. Grace can't figure out if it's her going crazy or if there really is some kind of force in the house.

"Just watched it recently, and I just loved it. I have in my luggage of watching a lot of thrillers of different decades, old and new, but this particular movie very pleasantly surprised and made me admire myself. There's not even anything to pick on, if you like great atmosphere and a super unexpected ending, the movie is a must-see", — Cinnabon.

"First of all, I would like to immediately note the wonderfully crafted atmosphere of the movie. Secondly, the wonderful performance of the actors, namely Nicole Kidman and Fionnula Flanagan. For all my coldness to Kidman's talent, her acting is brilliant. Thirdly, is definitely the ending. To say that the ending is unexpected is to say nothing. To tell the ending to a person who hasn't seen the movie yet is a crime. Fourth, and this is the most important thing, the movie "The Others" really makes you think and offers your own vision of a very interesting question. Fifthly, for some reason you constantly want to rewind and watch some moments again. Not because there is something special in these moments, but just such a desire appears. Sixth, the movie manages to keep the viewer in suspense, without using stamped "scarecrows". And "The Book of the Dead" is on top of its game. As a result, I can safely give the movie 10 out of 10, and even use the word "Masterpiece" for it", — Antis_Sekyt.

"Moulin Rouge!"

Drama, romance, musical | 4.3 out of 5 on MyShows | 2001

Baz Luhrmann's vibrant, dynamic, and enchanting musical provided Kidman with one of the most memorable roles of her career: the actress played Satine, a Parisian courtesan and star of the Moulin Rouge cabaret. She falls in love with a poor British writer Christian (Ewan McGregor), while Satine herself tries to seduce the Duke, who finances the "Moulin Rouge".

The role of Satine earned Nicole Kidman Oscar and SAG Awards nominations, as well as a Golden Globe win.

"To be honest, I don't really like musicals, but here sometimes when they sang especially to the song El Tango de Roxanne I got goosebumps! The actors did a great job! I liked very much the slogan of this movie, the words that we often, not only forget, but neglect: "The most important thing in life to love yourself and be loved!" — fb1313417.

"A scathing drama. Kidman's acting here is excellent", — Hatjkva.

"Unusual by modern standards to watch such a long movie, and even half a play. But watched it in one breath. Amazing script, shooting and acting of the actors", — alanklm.

Nine is also a great musical and, of course, in my opinion, a very underrated film - Stoker!

Wow. And I thought Nicole was a little younger. After all, her plastic surgery did her good in a sense.

A good selection.
Nicole is a very interesting, peculiar, selfless actress with a capital letter. Recently, he has been acting in unusual, interesting projects. It is clearly visible that the actress is looking for new ways in her profession, trying to find herself in new roles.

I advise you to watch her early works, a very strong movie
Vietnam, on demand https://myshows.me/view/43764/
Bangkok Hilton https://myshows.me/view/2346/

And for some reason they missed a very good film from the heyday of her career
Cold Mountain https://myshows.me/movie/5032/
Stepford Wives https://myshows.me/movie/70364/

And so early films with Nicole can be watched all in a row. They were all very popular.
These are Dead Calm, Days of Thunder, Billy Bathgate, Far Away, Portrait of a Lady, Practical magic, Birthday Girl, Tarnished Reputation, Translator and a bunch of others.

She had the best roles until she plunged headlong into facial plastic surgery... And there it went.

@MarkRaffer: Globally, she and the surgeon were lucky in the sense that the face was not removed. But now she looks, sadly, like an android.

@Gabalus: Well, how to say it... Personally, for me, she's been scary for about a year since 2005 or a little later. That is, she was not yet 40, but she had already started to edit and correct, or even improve... so I've improved. But in the last millennium, she was very, very, very, as well as Sharon Stone or Misha Pfeiffer there... but the last two still look good (as for old ladies).

@Gabalus: rather like a plasticine crow - her face is real now, as if it was hastily sculpted out of plasticine)

Меня в своё время тоже впечатлил минисериал Банкок Хилтон. Недавно села пересматривать, что-то сейчас уже так не смотрится.
